A controversial internet streamer who goes by the name Clavicular has been arrested in south Florida on a battery charge.
Braden Eric Peters, also known as Clavicular, was taken into custody on Thursday by Fort Lauderdale police following a battery investigation stemming from an incident last month in central Florida, investigators said.
Peters is accused of instigating a fight between two women and then posting a video of it on social media, authorities said. The BBC has contacted Peters for comments.
Clavicular is known for his role in an online movement called 'looksmaxxing', centred on maximising physical attractiveness.
A 19-year-old woman reported that she had been battered by Violet Marie Lentz, 24, during a physical altercation in a residence rented out by Peters, 20, the Osceola County Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies arrived at the home but Peters and Lentz would not meet them outside to speak about the incident.
A warrant was issued by the sheriff's office for Peters for charges of misdemeanour battery and criminal conspiracy to commit battery. A warrant was also issued for Lentz for misdemeanour battery. Authorities are still searching for her.
Peters' bond was set at $1,000 (£754), booking records show. He was released from custody late on Friday.
In a separate incident, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission announced they were launching an investigation into a video showing an alligator being shot at multiple times in the Florida Everglades. The video depicts four people, including Peters, on an airboat shooting at the alligator.
It remains unclear whether the commission's investigation is related to Peters, as the commission has not responded to requests for comments.
Peters is known for his extreme looksmaxxing content which chronicles him going to great lengths to enhance his looks – from using steroids, testosterone to hitting his face with a hammer. Looksmaxxing has given rise to a new underground subculture gradually moving from the margins of the internet to the mainstream.
